If/when I decide to sell, I sure don't expect to get what I paid for it. Those days are gone. Just like .29/gallon gasoline. The HD market is flooded with more bikes than people can afford. Or want. Good luck to the OP and I hope you get a sales price that makes you happy.
Who said that the price should go up because he cant ride? You stated he should ride the **** out if it, but you didnt read where he said he can no longer ride. I dont think he or anyone ever made mention that it should be worth more because of it.

Personally the 07 engine had a bad rep for 5th gear whine and hot engine. I have no idea if that is true, but I avoided them when looking. Good luck.
5th gear whine '07--09;Dyna '06--09 No biggie;just a noise Hot engine--'07 & up but can be fixed with a stage 1 or race tune.
